I write about which I am familiar

and proficient,

so, this will not be

 

a love poem.

Love it!
Poetry about beautiful, happily ever after love has value but, on my opinion, more people can relate to the pain love can cause

Thank you for your words,

Yes Jacob. My love poetry days are done too. Now I chase the grandchildren. Happy new year my friend. I wish you a great and wonderful 2024. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

I'd be willing to bet you a pumpkin pie, homemade by yours truly, that you can write about anything, and everything, under the sun! Now, please tell me you love pumpkin pie!!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I do love pumpkin pie...with whipped cream....mmmmm
thank you, Kelly,

Made me laugh as I rounded the last stanza. I've been alittle stingy with laughter as of late and it felt good to feel like myself. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I am so glad it could help you laugh a bit...
Takes time.

I love your poems Jacob they are at times filled with wisdom, at times a bit of humor and one's like this have a second take as the careless eye suddenly realizes that it has overlooked something and has to return for a second visit, letting the brain know that something said in an uncommon way means something different that what was expected.

thank you for your kind words, Soren,

this is more cleverer than just clever .. far more .. and more than that, I don't believe you neither, perhaps.

We all have our "go to" Jacob mine being, in the main, sadness and grief, yours it seems is love unfulfilled and love lost...yes?
Merry Xmas oh sagacious one, mentor of many and respected by all:))
Take care

[jacob erin-cilberto]

You might have to go on a book tour, signing tour and hopefully, not a farewell tour to love.
I love it!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

ha ha, thanks, Sami,

Lol
You are welcome sir Jacob.

[andrew mitchell]

Hahaha clever, funny and melancholic all in one. Haven’t we all been there at one time or another. Love it. Still laughing.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, we have...thank you, andrew,

[Crowley]

Lol... I have a hard time believing that. You have written some of the best love poems I have read. And more importantly not just the romantic love, the love of life and people. I hardly think there isn't anything that you aren't proficient in.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Oh, many things, Crowley...but thank you,
